About this work

This drawing depicts a man sitting in a chair, dressed in a suit and tie. He is holding a violin and bow, with his left hand resting on his lap. The man's facial expression is serious, and he appears to be lost in thought. The drawing is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the man's clothing and the violin. The background of the drawing is minimal, with only a hint of a wall or table behind the man. The level of detail in this drawing suggests that the artist, Jiquidi, Aurel, was skilled in capturing the subtleties of human expression and the textures of everyday objects. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's technique, you might want to explore the subject of cross-hatching.
